00:17:33 <CDB-Man> chris: your "cash dividend" column needs a fix. you cannot check exclusively for cash, since that would leave out reinvested dividends
00:18:20 <CDB-Man> sorry nevermind, it looks like i had the selector on the wrong account.... carry on
00:30:27 <CDB-Man> chris: hmm, https://ibb.co/mBqn1ck this transaction of mine in my real book is beoing detected by your tool as a return of capital, i shtat because of the blank value split to cash? as otherwise it has a split to XSP.TO the stock account, and to the CG income account
00:34:57 <CDB-Man> chris: similarly, this transaction also has a blank split to cash https://ibb.co/3FDJXwD but was detected as a notional instead of return on capital. the check for retrun on capital should be a credit to the stock account without and # units, when the stock account has a positive # units in it. my transaction here is a bit of an oddball, the cash is blank since earlier in the year i recorded the cash into dividend income, since the broker only tells us
00:34:57 <CDB-Man> its a return of capital a year end, hance i have to debit and reduce the income account, instead of debiting a cash deposit like normal
00:35:29 <CDB-Man> the check for notional distribution is DR the stock and CR income when the stock # units is positive
00:36:01 <CDB-Man> the cost basis is still correct in both instances
00:36:11 <CDB-Man> the only impact of both "errors" is on the cumulative total return
00:36:17 <CDB-Man> which is probably the least important column

00:41:36 <CDB-Man> and of course both contain a dividend flag
00:43:23 *** storyjesse has joined #gnucash
00:52:13 <CDB-Man> hoping the no value split to cash can be ignored and still have the test file in the ticket work
00:52:42 <CDB-Man> understandable if matching for my wierd ROC will break compatibility to the file in the ticket

11:33:38 <jralls> warlord, mail works. ;-) Could we create a git repo for template/en/custom? The actual repo wouldn't need to be there, a commit hook could copy updates over.

11:40:43 <jralls> CDB-Man, Wm has not in my experience shown any recognition that he's being ignored.

15:12:54 <iduno8912> When trading using a crypto exchange, should I use the GnuCash tutorial on captial gains and treat it like an asset account, or should I follow the tutorial on trading accounts? I want to keep it as simple as possible. This is for personal.

15:22:00 *** sbluhm has joined #gnucash
15:23:25 <jralls> iduno8912: GnuCash treats cryptocurrencies as securities so follow the instructions in the Tutorial and Concepts Guide for stocks. Trading accounts might be helpful for tracking gains and losses, but how you do that depends on the tax rules in your jurisdiction.
